Always Practice Safe Hex

Livvy Savoie gets along with almost everyone she meets, partly thanks to a witch's gift for persuasion and a natural charm that draws people in. That streak ends when a rival with a frustratingly sharp mind walks into her life. She insists that dislike is all she feels toward him, even as her own reactions suggest otherwise.

Gareth Blackwater is a grim reaper who rarely shows much feeling beyond a guarded, somber calm. When he is paired with Livvy for a public relations contest, she begins to disturb his composure. He assumes the overwhelming pull he feels toward her must be caused by her witchcraft. Working so closely together, however, makes it clear that something more is developing between them. Livvy also discovers that Gareth's abilities go well beyond any supernatural power she has encountered before.

The story takes a darker turn when a dangerous warlock becomes fixated on Livvy. Gareth shows just how formidable he is as he steps in to protect her.
